abundance of good tennis courts.
These afford a chance for
physical development. The class
room, the literary societies afford a
chance for mental development. The
Young Men's Christian Association is
for the cultivation of religous life,
I have been intimate with college life
for ten years. Every day have I j
strolled through this college campus
and I have come to know the boys
well. I know their pranks how they
throw biscuits at their boarding hous
es. But down underneath there is in
each of these boys a fountain of truth.
The Young Men's - Christian Associa
tion wants to develop this. The Y.
M.C. A. is not perfect by any means
but remember this, that it is an orga
nized effort toward religious life. If
I were to plead its cause before a
jury I should only ask for justice.
Prof. E. K. Graham Speaks
Dr. Venable next introduced Prof.
E. K. Graham. The substance of
Mr. Graham's remarks was briefly
this: Nothing has been left for me to
say. However what little I have to
say I am gratified to say to such men
as are before me. I have a friend
who says the most interesting thing
in the world is man. I agree with
him but I say young men, especially
fresh men. The fresh man comes
with a heart filled with a desire to do
great things. They are more interest
ing than any novel or love story.
Behind them is a love store more inte
resting than any ever written or told
of the love of a mother for her son.
If I could but paint the details of the
sacrifice, the patience of that mother
I should be more eloquent than any
man has been. More interesting than
any story of adventure is the story of
a boy leaving home to enter the world.
You young men are today at a crisis
of your lives. In this moment is the
culmination of your boyhood spent
under discipline guided by love. You
now begin Your manhood full of free
dom and power. The Young Men's
Christian Association offers you the
chance to use your freedom and your
powers for good. The young men of
the Y. M. C. A. are organized workers.
You will join a band of vigorous,
Christian, democratic men who will
help you. This is not only a welcome
meeting but a moment of opportunity,
opportunity which "knocks unbidden
once at every gate" and then is gone.
See to it that it does not go without
your seizing it.
Mr. J. W. Bailey Speaks
Dr. Venable next introduced Mr. J.
W. Bailey of Raleigh, a friend of edu
cation and a friend of the University,
a manly man. Mr. Bailey's remarks
were in substance briefly: I am proud
to be called a friend of the University.
Not so very long ago I was as you
young men are today, a freshman at
a college and through memory I can
today think the same t thoughts you
are having. If I should tell you how
short a time it seems since my fresh
man days of twenty years ago you
would lose what little faith you might
formerly have had in my veracity.
Those twenty years seem to me when
I gaze in the contenances of the men
before me as but yesterday. I congrat
ulate you upon the Young Men's
Christian Association which offers
you an opportunity to lead a Chris-
tiari life. North Carolina when she
bids you welcome to the University
bids you welcome to the best thing
she has. I come here today to make
no decision for you in your question
ing. I shall try to clear none of your
doubts. Man must either have his
doubts or be omniscient. I - wish to
day to present to you the reality of
Jesus, "Behold the Man." Put your
thoughts behind you, put your theolo
gy thoughts behind you if you have
gone that far. Let us behold that
man Jesus. You can not doubt the
reality of Jesus though you doubt all
the creeds. He was a man born of
parents humble in a way yet descended
of a royal line such as no man might
boast of. Thirty years he lived the
life of a peasant lad in Nazareth.
Then He left home and for three
years went about conversing with the
more or less ignorant people of Galilee
spending nearly all his time with
eleven unlettered peasants. After
three years of such life he was crucifi
ed leaving no written record. What
a test! Only three years of active
life and no written record. Yet so
tremendous wis the personality of this
man that three hundred years after
his death the great Caesar cried out
"Caesar will have no other king but
Christ". Charlemagne, later, when
he had crowns and kingdoms more
than enough, longed, with a longing
not to be expressed, for the simple
iron crowns of Lombardy which tradi
tion said was one of the spikes driven
through the flesh of Christ. He has
today become the moral pole star of
the Universe. So that today the
noblest thing we can say about our
University is to say it is a Christian
University, about our civilization that
it is a Christian civilization. Insigni
ficant as he seemed at his death he
has had the greatest train of martyrs I
the world has known. At Napoleon's
tread empires quaked but when Napo
leon stopped treading the empires
quaking.
Caesar is considered by some the
greatest man, yet when Caesar fell at
the foot cf Pompey's statue his influ
ence faded away. Chas. Lamb once
said to some friends that if Shake
speare should suddenly appear in
their midst they would all stand but if
Jesus should suddenly come they
would all kneel. Deserted as he was
at his death Christ has today his five
hundred . millions followers. Today
niether the infidel nor the agnostic
chalanges the reality of Christ. You
must confront the facts and civiliza
tion and come to some decision about
them. What will you do about this
fact? What is there in Jesus that ex
plains his history? He is the only
one example of an unlimited personali
ty. He is the ancient among the
moderns, the only modern among the
ancients. He was as womanly as a
a woman aud as manly as a man. He
was a man universal. He has proved
himself the only sure voice. Go to '
Jesus and have your hands on the rock
of ages. Pin your faith on Christ and
you can go through anything. Jesus
does not find men and find in them
virtue. Jesus finds men and endows
them with virtue. There is no mys
tery about Christ. Seize hold of your
own conception of Jesus and work it
out for yourself, it will be a well
springing into eternal rivers of water.
It is said that Angelo's face was more
transformed than the marble when he
carved out the head of his David.
There is something in the great trans
forming power of Jesus at this critical
time of life. Lead the full life but be
able to say, "There is Christ." Ask
yourself, "What shall I do with
Jesus?" After a short prayer by Mr.
Hogue those who desired signed cards
of membership to the Y. M. C. A. and
the benediction was pronounced.
' THE SCAMPIRE.
(With apologies to Kipling.)
(From Judge.)
A lad there was, and he went to school
(Even as me and you),
But he called it a "College," by rote and rule,
So he started right in to play the fool,
And he never took in that the dunce's stool
"Was waiting to find a crew !
A kid he was, hut he led the van ,
(Even as kidlets do),
Tie whooped and he yelled like a bleacher fan,
As brash and as void' as an empty can ;
But he thought he was really a great big man,
And leading the bunch, a few!
A dream he was in his roaring socks
(Even as all must see),
A dream that awakes and alarms and shocks,
With sweaters that howl for a block of blocks,
And charming the creatures of frill and frocks
With swagger of deviltry.
A drone he was like a lazy Turk
(Even as one might guess),
He worked at his play and played at his work,
He settled his books with a slam and a jerk,
And lit on a thousand ways to shirk,
A little bit less and less?
A chump he was, with a cigarette
(Even as flows the tide) ,
With a cues word ready and cash to bet,
But waiting a lesson he won't forget,
When the wind is cold and the rain is wet
And the world will tan his hide !
